Fun fact: when the author of the book sent it to his publisher they said it was way too scary for kids. So he proved that it wasn’t because he read it to his daughter and she begged him to finish it.
Fast forward to when she is an adult and it turns out that she was completely terrified and only begged him to finish because she had to know how it ended.
Actually his daughter would go to him with stories about witches taking her mom away and playing games to get her back and her dad wrote it. They moved and he continued it for his 2nd daughter. To prove the book wasnt scary the editor's daughter would read it and say it wasnt scary just cuz she wanted to know what was gonna happen next
I mean fear isnt necessarily a bad emotion for children to experience. Teaching them that it's okay to be afraid or learning that fear as a response to a piece of media that is supposed to make you afraid can also be entertaining is a good thing. Look at early disney films. I cried my eyes out watching Beast get stabbed by Gaston and almost die, same with watching mufasa get thrown off a cliff by his own brother. But I still rewatched those movies over and over as a kid because of how good they were.
@@starlette7820idk some pple said they developed phobia’s from watching Caroline as kids

Ways to Dylan’s heart:
1. Athleticism
2. Knowledge of cheese
Don’t forget his comment about long legs 😂😂
HAHAHAHA
I thought the way to Dylan's heart or at least his fantasies was being a controlling she demon... Ursula and now crazy other mom.... hmmmm....
3. being a villainous lady in a kids film☠
Coralline is a animated horror film disguised as a child’s film and there is not a single person who can convince me otherwise.
Exactly, out of all the horror/scary movies I’ve seen Coraline is the scariest. The amount of fear that I got just by watching this video was insane. Probably bad that it is disguised as a kids movie since it scared me so badly as a child.
@@jimmybobsqusher5897 our music teacher showed this to my first grade class. I have never forgiven her.
@@liliesaregoodfortheliver2954 oh yikes. Aren’t teachers meant to screen stuff before showing the students? Especially 7 year olds? This shit is dark, rated PG 13.
I think you should watch 9 I remember as a kid coraline didn't scare me but 9 did
I mean most children stories were originally horror stories. All fairytales are dark it’s just Coraline is based more in reality with it’s themes of predation and escapism rather than the more cartoonish route other film adaptations have of these stories so you feel more uneasy watching the film. But I freaking love movies like this for that reason bro. Kids are people just like us and they feel fear just like us. Not showing fear in books or movies for kids isn’t really protecting them as much as people think since you’re not helping them navigate or understand these feelings. These books and films allow kids to experience fear in an fun but age appropriate way and I just don’t get why so many people are put off by it most of the time.
It's important to understand that the story is Coralines way of seeing her parents and surroundings. Subjective perception. Coraline sees her new home as being boring, colorless and her parents are working hard cause of their deadlines while she just wants fun. Afterwards she sees more colors and has a kinder understanding of everyone she met. Including her parents. So they were not meant for us to see how shitty they are, but to feel for Coralines reaction and emotions.
Also we're looking at a very stressful period of time. They've just moved, they had an accident with the car and the moving truck, and their deadlines for work are coming up
dylan fell in love with the button world so fast the other mother would have had his soul immediately
Yeah, but as long as HE gets to be button dad, I don't think he'd mind
LMAO lost it when he said if he saw her again the wall wasn't going to be the only thing bricked up. SIR 🤣
Bold for you to assume that he has a soul to be stolen
@@secretlybees I'm fucken rolling, bwahahaha
bro would have been long gone
Coraline's parents are writers almost at a deadline, and had just moved. It's not that they don't love her, they're exhausted. That's why we see them give her more attention when they've turned it in.
Yeah so many people miss this point. Coraline isn't a neglected child. It's just a few days where they had to focus. They're tired and they moved. The mom was wearing a brace. She must had an accident. It's not ideal but it's reality. Coraline acts like a child who is used to getting attention and her Dad cooking her better food. Which means they usually are present it's just in the moment. The other mother makes the judgment that she must be a neglected child whose parents don't love her enough. But that dosnt seem to be true. And that's why she can't get to Coraline.
@silverkyre Yea it seems like the parents were forced to move after the accident (Coraline states in the movie "it wasn't my fault you hit that truck!" to which her mom replies "I never said it was"). So they have a lot going on- a deadline closing in, a medical emergency after a car crash, lack of income, and probably a rushed move. RIP the parents
and they're poor too
I think too, so much of this film is influenced by Coraline’s perspective of a situation. She’s mad at her parents and sad about moving - so she sees them as not caring about her. She’s upset about losing her friends so Whybe seems annoying. She doesn’t like the house so the neighbors seem creepy.
I mean, that's understandable and realistic, I suppose, but let's not act like understanding and empathizing with your children when they're also in a stressful situation(one that the parents caused by moving her somewhere she is unfamiliar with, uprooting her from her established life, friends, and probably extended family, and then they become distant due to not meeting deadlines and having a job that is making them both so stressed and exhausted, something that should be considered as a factor when it comes to how your child will be raised and how bad an enviornment both of them are creating for her by having those jobs), and not helping your kid adjust to their new, unfamiliar life and house is still being a bad parent. If you and especially if you AND your partner don't have well paying jobs, that create insane stressful times, you probably shouldn't be starting a family. Get a dog, don't make a child. They still suck. One could argue that maybe they're trying their best, but a lot of the times, someone's "best," is still half-assed and them still being inattentive, unproductive, and distant.
the TRAUMA this movie caused me was so huge that i've only found the courage to rewatch it now, 11 years later, because of dylan ☠️
LITERALLY SAME HAHA IT'S ACTUALLY TERRIFYING
SAME
My parents took me to watch coraline in the movies when it came out (in 3D) so that scared me for life 💀
Same here…
@@demon_lady122 Me too! I hated it
fun facts: Wybie was never in the book. He was added because Coraline talks a lot to herself but it was changed to her talking to a real person.
Also, the other father's song was foreshadowing that she was the beldam's target and the doll was spying on her.
Wybie is fav character and I'm glad he was added
She wasn’t really talking to herself but she was talking to the cat throughout the book a lot more
The movie was a great adaptation of the book, but one scary detail from the book that wasn't fully portrayed here was how the tunnel connecting the two worlds was pulsating like a living being, very likely the intestine of a monster that even the Other Mother was afraid of. And every time Coraline crosses the tunnel, it knows 😰
but why did the tunnel change from a tunnel you'd see at a play house to one thats as dry and dusty as my grandma. Maybe it was related to Coraline's perception of the world. When she believed it was a happy place, better than her reality, the tunnel was bright and colourful but when she found out the truth it also revealed its true form, as a tunnel leading to her doom?
Also how the other mother said she used to shove her own mother back in her grave whenever she crawled out or sum
Another aspect of the book left out was when the other father had his eyes ripped out and was stuck in the basement as a sack of flesh that chased after coraline. Kind of glad it was left out haha
@@nyctxphilee put some respect on grandma’s name. Geez 😭😭
@@angelashinner I'm sorry gamgam rip
A detail that stuck with me is how Coraline sings her real father's song "twichy witchy girl" while she's feeling scared of the other mother. It shows how, after all, she connects the "boring" parents with safety
In the book, her parents aren’t so blatantly mean to her like they are in the movie (especially the mother). They’re politely dismissive, which I find to be very good writing in the terms of a child’s point of view.She thinks they just don’t want to play with her. In reality, her parents love her, and are trying to give her activities to preoccupy the day, but they also have to work. Thus, the Other Mother’s constant attention being so appealing. The grass is greener and all that. If you’ve ever been two parents working at home during summer vacation, it looks about the same as the book portrays it. The movie is quite a bit harsher on the mother, to set you up for how great the Other Mother seems to be.
@@tbeighle5131 i didn't know this was a book,is it a straight up kids book or is it as dark as the movie
@paris tiger It is both a kid's book AND darker. Think "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark" type books. The final scene with the Other Father is nightmare inducing for children.
@@paristiger i haven’t finished the book but for what i’ve heard it’s definitely darker
@@paristiger there's no wybie and no doll so in the book Caroline is doing everything on her own. I think there was also something about the neighbors like they didn't all have those little performances or something but it's just way darker since Caroline is alone.
The most impressive thing is that Dylan has stayed spoiler free for this long...
I LOVE the part where Dylan just looks horrified when the mouse turns into sand and then nothing else is said about it
LMFAOO his face when it happened 🤣😭
I like how at the end, Dylan convinced himself it was a good ending by ignoring the cat disappearing
What does the cat disappearing mean? 😮
@@stargirl7646 That the cat can move between worlds, as expected from cats tbh ;)
@@_meh_whatever yeah schrodinger's cat was like that too
So, the witch, beldam will probably use the portal eventually then
@@stargirl7646 there’s a theory that the cat disappears because they’re still in the other world and he’s going back to the real world
this movie was such a cautionary tale of how predators would do so much to entice victims and lure them in, especially going after people in vulnerable situations
To me it was more a commentary to appreciate the ordinary things in life. And that bravery isn’t just blind courage…it’s about when you’re scared, and you do the thing anyway.
@Girishma N I definitely get that vibe as well, bc if coraline had just gone through the normality of it all for 2 more days, then her parents would've finished their catalogue and they would've had their happy ending either way
Did you write this with chat gpt
@ROMETRIX! I'm not sure if this is meant to be an insult or a compliment, but no, I didn't
It's the very basic "if something seems too good to be true it probably is" but that also goes along with the predator thing.
And everyone that isn't Dylan would probably catch the 'be a bit patient with your parents even tho they're not perfect' message
I did a play of Coraline when I was in middle school, and I remember thinking, “should we be doing this?” Cause the story and tone of the play was so frickin creepy. A girl in my class actually had to sit out a scene cause she was so disturbed after acting out the souls, cause like those are the trapped souls of CHILDREN. Plus we were literal children at the time, and our drama teacher played the other mother. Having an adult voice the other mother irl is traumatizing. To this day I still remember weird ass details about the script, like the rats upstairs, the skeleton hand following coraline into the real world to get the key back while she sleeps…
Anyway, this story is WILD
Well... There are school plays that did Little Red Ridinghood and Hansel and Gretel and both stories ALSO have child predator villains BTW...
So I thought it was actually neat that your school did a Coroline school play.👏
Middle schoolers seems like an appropriate age group, considering the main protagonist is a preadolescent and the theme is more darker.

You know there is some interesting details:
1. The Other mom trying to be perfect in everything. And it’s even affect on her look: while Caroline’s mother have nose, that look a little bit to the left, the other mom have perfect, looking straight nose.
2. Mister Bobinsky have a medal ”To the participant of the liquidation of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant”
3. Seeds from the beginning of the movie, that we see when Caroline put they on the window is the same plants that Other Mother used to make garden look like Caroline.
4. In the end of movie we can clearly see that garden is actually is face of the Other Mom, which means that she actually existed in real world about a 150 ago.
Or, the Pink Palace is just the outside, inviting looking cover for the entrance to the other world, like the door of a trapdoor spider web looking like dirt. The Beldam's face is in the garden because the house is an extension of her influence, even if she didn't build it herself.
Dylan waiting and expecting for something ominous to happen at the end, even paying attention to the cat, and then STILL missing it is so funny
what did he miss, cause I only noticed the bang at the end and I didn't think much of it after he said there was nothing😭😂
The cat literally disappear and he didn't say anything about it.
@@deeefnne The cat goes behind the Pink Palace post sign, but doesn't appear on the other side, he completely disappears, something he could only do (as far as we know) in the other world. You can't see it perfectly in this video because there's a small cut, but it''s there! This doesn't necessarily mean Coraline is still in the other world tho, as it's always night there, however it does raise questions as to what exactly the cat can do and what its intentions were throughout the movie, specially when allowing Coraline to drop the key down the well, which as Dylan guessed correctly, is another portal to the other world.
@@chaotic-multi-fandom do you know this from the book?
@@chaotic-multi-fandom I think it just proves what the cat said earlier - that there aren't two separate versions of him, and that he can move between worlds at will.
My favourite quote from the book sadly got left out. The fake Mr B asks why Coraline won't stay in this world where she could have anything she wants and Coraline says “I don't want whatever I want. Nobody does. Not really. What kind of fun would it be if I just got everything I ever wanted just like that, and it didn't mean anything? What then?”
I find her response to be a little too on the nose about the message of the story. But I wish the question was still asked!
@@propogandalfI see what you mean! But I still would’ve quite liked it, both in that the movie has more themes, and that it’s aimed at very young audiences who might need to hear those questions explored to understand them. It’s close to the theme but not exact I feel, and s good starting point for a conversation!
this is such such such such a privileged mindset i hate it so much lol. "suffering is good and you should go without" gross i hate it
@@viiviviviiv Though I see your point-I don’t know that it’s exactly what the quote means. More on the end of(esp from a child’s perspective) getting lots of these big perfect things in abundance, even just like the giant complicated meals she ate with the other family. The thing here is that in our current real lives, the things we need that feel so out of reach are much different than hers might be(young child, animated movie, middle class, came out a while ago). While I would wish for safety, housing, healthcare, food, which are basic necessities, Coraline/the audience within her age and situation by the narrative would idealize things like cake all the time or getting lots of toys to play with(this isn’t to diminish the ages and intents of kids, but what the audience might be getting assumed of them-also these are unnuanced, simple examples). It’s not realistic that we will experience/get those things all the time, and so to wish for it for example, would make it matter less when you do get it or make it less enjoyable. It’s not really the best example, but it’s more on the view of appreciating life’s little moments. /gen
@@viiviviviivi don't think you understood the quote. of course you are going to want what makes you happy... thats not what mr gaiman meant lmao
There’s something calming about watching a psychopath thirst over the villain for half an hour
The way Dylan has reacted to this movie is so funny in such a wholesome way like the man is terrified yet infatuated with “Button Mom” yet laughing at everything yet encouraging firefly hate crime
dylan looking absolutely dumbfounded when the mice started playing instruments and dancing was HYSTERICAL
dylan going from ‘i don’t like these two women. i don’t care’ to staring in pure shock at the performance scene is so fucking funny
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:

@@philosophy_bot4171 I don’t belive you!
One of the things I love about this movie is how the physical features of the characters are true but exaggerated.
As a data analyst who works in consulting, I've met Coraline's father. His features and posture are truthfully only slightly exaggerated. This is the posture of a programmer/code monkey.
I also find it an interesting commentary on how, in childhood, we exaggerate details due to object permanence still developing.
Like, this whole movie is about how an only child named Coraline didn't get as much attention as she usually would for maybe a month during a stressful move and a crucial time for her parents' business; so in her mind, her parents are cruel and awful and everything is different and terrible.
All details in this story are exaggerated by the imaginative mind of a bored child who has no real sense of time.
Anyways, I went off on a tangent when I just wanted to comment on programmers' posture. lol
For anyone curious: the main message of Coraline is doing something important even if you're scared (according to Neil Gaiman, the author of the book)
Interesting that the main message was not to distrust creepy strangers who act very kind to you and are too good to be true. Because they almost always are: they want something in return for their kindness. This is what predators and abusers do to children.
Dylan showing empathy for Coraline because of her athleticism gives off the same energy as Dylan with Emily in Until Dawn LOL
yes! thought the same thing 😂
lmao SAME
“She’s resourceful!”
I miss dylan's gameplays
Good old times
You know you're a grownup when you realize that Coraline's parents are trying their hardest to stay afloat despite the sudden moving, accident and a deadline, with their daughter feeling neglected being just a side-effect of all of that.
You just called dylan a child. Which makes sense cause he's only 20
I mean, she IS being emotionally neglected. They're giving her food and a home, but they're treating her like she is a pest and a burden, which must feel awful.
There are def better ways to deal with such an awful situation so your child isn't as affected (and possibly traumatised)
@@gooodmorning4526 Yeah she is being emotionally neglected, that's coz her parents are on overload themselves, they don't really have enough time or energy for basics to give her some of it right now. I am not exactly happy about some of the things they were saying to her, still, I think this is a forgivable instance, parents are still human, its kind of hard to be nice when everything's so crappy. Doesn't mean it still doesn't affect the kid, doesn't mean I can blame the parents. Sometimes things just suck, for no fault of anyone. That's why its so important to make time for Coraline and pay her much needed attention now that things are more in hand, so that she understands that period of neglect was a one-time thing, product of circumstances, not a reflection of how they feel about her. I think childhood is kind of like a tapestry, where there are many different coloured threads woven together, as long as the bright outweighs the drab by 3-4 times, the overall impression would be good. One instance of neglect is not really enough to classify it as child neglect, it becomes a problem when it is constant and consistent for years, as well as accompanied by other situations such as constant fighting, some kind substance abuse, or unsafe home environment.
@@hmm6518 according to sources on google he is 31 years old so I have no clue now how old he is 😅
They were still assholes. Sure, they are human and they can make mistakes but every single interaction they had with her was negative, that was no side effect that was just bad parenting.
13:15 you liking Coraline for her athleticism reminds me of you playing Until Dawn and liking Emily lmaoo
Dylan being more traumatized by Coraline smashing bugs than anything else in this movie is a mood 🤣

Dylan hates suggestions and avoids them. Just thought you should know.
@@PM-yr6vg you know, now that you mention it I do seem to remember him saying something to that effect🤦🏻♀️ thanks for letting me know; I shall not suggest anymore. I understand the reasoning behind it. :) Thanks! :)
@@swopehs196 You're welcome. :)
As much as he hates recommendations, it would be cool to see that
If you were paying attention to the Other Father's song, you'd realize that it was actually a warning.
Making up a song about coraline.
She's a peach (something to eat) she's a doll (how the other mother spies on her)
she's a pal of mine (he actually cares about her.)
She's a cute as a button to everyone who ever laid their eyes on coraline (buttons for eyes)
When she comes exploring, mom and I will never ever make it boring (how the other mother plans to lure her into staying)
Our eyes will be on coraline (sewing the buttons into her eyes)
And then the pause right at the end, before he pulls away, he looks right at the camera like he's saying, "Did you get that?"
I never noticed that, that’s awesome! I’m always just too busy enjoying the fact that They Might be Giants wrote and performed the song for my favorite movie
another small detail is that on the cake "home" has double loops in the "o" which is said to be a sign of lying, but the "o" in "welcome" only has one loop
basically meaning that she is welcome, but she is not home.
I never caught that it's awesome!
Wow this has been my favorite movie since I was a kid and I never caught that. Thank you for the info that’s awesome
@@karla.karla. the irony is, I HATE horror in general, but I LOVED this movie when I was 9 or 10 😂 but I was surprised that my friends were afraid of it when I would make them watch it with me 💀 I was more intrigued than anything
So, I used to have the same opinion as Dylan in regards of Coraline's parents, but Cinema Therapy made me realize they aren't really abusive towards her. Everything about Coraline points towards a kid that is used to have loads of attention of both her parents, but they can't really afford to give her that at this moment because they are just moving to a new house, with a tight job schedule and really stressed out. It is a situation that most kids (and parents) can actually relate. The fact that everything seems so much better in the end is because both Coraline (someone who wasn't really fond of her new house and neighborhood) and her parents are actually making a effort.
It’s not just the fact that they don’t give her attention, it’s also how they handle it. They were treating her like she was a parasite that was bothering them. Not like a child that you to reassure that you love them, but you can’t give them the attention they need atm. You feel me?
@@frenchgirl5878 I totally get that but people eff up. If they're over stressed, over worked, and not sleeping enough then they might be unusually snippy. My mom had moments like that, even though my mom is awesome. It happens. It's not good or necessarily excusable, but it's an unfortunate part of life sometimes
Oooh i lo e cinema therapy
same!!! just watched their vicdeo on it
@anasa4100 another cinema therapy can in chat I see lmao. But ya I agree the language and lesson of this movie can be intercepted in so many way but especially the narcissistic abuse aspect is my favorite interpretation.
19:05 the face😭😭
like why was he watching so intently 😂
18:21
bro had the same reaction as coraline
you can just see it too XDDD
In the parents’ defense, it was shown that they had *just* moved and they already had a deadline for work. Her parents were *super busy* for like 3 days. They needed a few days to focus on their work to meet the deadline and their teenager just refused to let up at all. Based on the ending when her parents say they’ve completed their work and theyre a little happier, we have to assume that they were just in “deadline mode” and Coraline was treating it like they had completely abandoned the thought of raising her.
I believe gaiman wrote it like that because it was him sympathizing with his kids when he had writing deadlines
I feel like there’s two sides to this. For sure we see the worst side of Coralines parents here, but even taking into account what situation they’re in, it’s still not really okay what they’re doing in my opinion. Coraline isn’t a teen - she’s 9 in the film - too young to understand the pressure her parents are under. Yes they just moved and that’s very stressful - but Coraline also just moved, and as far as we can tell she’s far away from her old network and has no way to contact old friends (both because she’s young and because this seems to be before cellphones were standard). That’s very stressful and scary for a child - that’s what Inside Out is all about (and Riley is like 12, and her parents in that film are wayyy better at handling the situation, even if they also make mistakes). It isn’t Coralines job to take all that on and act like everything is fine - ideally her parents would at least communicate with her about her feelings and their needs. Actually I think she takes it all very well for a kid in a new environment with no friends and no family that wants to talk to her - even if it as just for 3 days, those are 3 very important days… the new place might get soured for her if her first association with it is boredom and loneliness. Her mom could’ve realised that she was having a bad time, and bought her those gloves that she really wanted to show that she cared - it wouldn’t have taken away from her work. Coralines problem isn’t that her parents are stressed, but that they don’t see her or her needs, which is why the primary thing the other world does for her is paying attention to her wants and showing that she’s seen. From what we see in the film, I don’t think her parents are that great of parents, even in the good times, but they aren’t evil or anything - just normal people with flaws. Idk that’s my interpretation anyway… long form lol - I don’t do short comments😂
Edit: spelling mistake
Also her mom had on a neck brace most of the movie because she was in a car accident so she was already stressed and in pain while dealing with a move and a rambunctious child
I can understand the parents reasoning for being buys bc it’s a deadline and moving. I can also understand Coraline being bored bc she moved away from her friends and doesn’t have any close friends atm. She met Wybie but wasn’t a huge fan of him at first. You can understand both sides and why Coraline seems annoying to her parents and why Coraline is bothering them a lot
I get that perspective, but as an only child that got treated like this most of the time, it's not ok. You don't have siblings to entertain one another, you just moved so you have no friends (I also moved very frequently), and it didn't seem like school was in at the moment. It becomes an isolating world in this situation. And yes, the parents were busy, but they also have the majorly important job of being parents and need to learn to balance the both or she will grow up with attachment/trust/abandonment issues like me.
I like to think the movie is a metaphor for "stranger danger", since Coraline doesn't question people that seem trusting (they look like her parents) and who "care" and "love" her more than her own family. They promised her quality time and a future just as fun until she doesn't question it. Luckily she's wise enough, unlike the prior kids who didn't see the warning signs. The root of the issue is she doesn't feel loved enough (at least until she sees the comparison) and seeks it elsewhere. Lesson is; make sure to spend quality time with your kids/family even if its for a few short minutes of "what is it that you want to show me?" in stead of "I'm too busy to bother with you right now."
(BTW sorry this turned into an essay haha I got carried away it seems)
i love when dylan does commentary for actually good movies
Saaaame!!!!

You summed up *perfectly* the plot of the movie at 3:25: 'Five minutes in, I have seen a doll being built. I thought it was Coraline. I think she's a human though.' That's it. That's the whole movie.
Some little fun facts
1. The blue guy (Mr. Bobinsky) is blue because he was a liquidator at Chernobyl, they had to remove the radioactive gravite from the roof, many of them got cancer, you can even see the medal they were awarded on his top,
2. Wybies grandmas is afraid and wary of the house and the doll because her sister is one of the souls the other mother has
And 3. The other fathers songs actually has warnings to coraline in the lyrics
Coraline is one of my favorite movies now but it literally scarred me as a child
EDIT: Just remembered another thing, Coralines real moms nose is crooked but the others mothers isn’t, it’s highlighting the fact that the other world has to be picture perfect for Coraline, that there can’t be any flaws within it.
What are the lyrics?
@@ChestnutCBWC Making up a song about Coraline
She's a peach, she's a doll, she's a pal of mine
She's as cute as a button
In the eyes of everyone who ever laid their eyes on Coraline
When she comes around exploring
Mom and I will never ever make it boring
Our eyes will be on Coraline
There's also a double meaning with the Welcome Home cake the other mother made Coraline.
According to graphology, a double looped lower case "o" is a sign someone is lying in their writing. The "o" in "Welcome" has a single loop and "Home" is doubled...meaning Coraline is welcome, but she isn't home.
@@ZeallustImmortalwow he directly tells her the other mother wants to put buttons in her eyes. That is some clever writing.
@@voiceofthelegion578 Yep. The button eyes and even the entire doll thing.
the thing with this movie is that it basically shows how someone can completely misinterpret a relationship. from coraline's pov her parents were dismissive and didn't care about her, while other mother was attentive, caring, loving. but the reality is that her real parents were busy with work and just needed some time without shenanigans and interruptions so they could get it done, and once they did, their attention was back on their daughter, while other mother was only loving because she wanted something from coraline
The dangers of grooming!
Beep bop... I'm the Philosophy Bot. Here, have a quote:
"Of what use is a philosopher who doesn't hurt anybody's feelings?"
~ Diogenes
I feel like the other world's characters were just reflections of the real world's characters. Both mothers were controlling and didn't care how they hurt Coraline as long as they accomplished their goals. The fathers cared about Coraline and liked to spend time with her, but were victims in their own right from the mothers and didn't stop the abuse. And the Wybies obviously knew the truth but were forced into silence for one reason or another, but they both were there for Coraline. Coraline wanted loving, attentive parents more than anything. Little did she know that the other world's parents were more extreme versions of her own, even if they did give her attention and love. Even with Wybie, she thought that she wanted him to stay quiet but in reality he was loyal and would've been able to help her sooner if she didn't wish he was different. Coraline's parents weren't good parents, they just seem like the better option compared to the other ones lol.
the way yall will excuse child abuse is disgusting. coraline's parents are neglectful shts and this trash movie basically tells kids "theyre not trying to kill you so deal with it". they should have died at the end and coraline be sent to an actual loving home.
No, her parents were just negligent. Her mother in particular talked to her like she was dirt on her shoe. If you're being treated badly by a person you're being treated badly, there's no misinterpretation there, the person's reasons for treating you badly don't matter.
26:30 dylan be like: maybe her parents were the friends we made along the way
this movie traumatized me as a child, but i loved it wholeheartedly. my parents are A LOT like coraline’s (like, really, it’s creepy the little details they have in common) and they were always busy. i never dared to read the book cause it’s even darker, but i’ve been told it’s really great.
Plot twist: Dylan isn’t moving house because he is afraid of the murders being committed in his building, he’s moving house because he IS THE ONE committing the murders in his building…
ooh yes! new dylan lore just dropped everyone!!
No I am.
And he's looking for more victims so he can add them to his still-not-finished-book.
Weird how i thought of the same exact thing while watching this video 💀 and then i find your comment 👀
Fun fact. The studio that makes these movies (Boxtrolls, Coraline, Missing Link, ParaNorman) is called Laika and it is run by Thomas Knight, the son of the Nike founder Phil Knight. The studio never makes a huge profit from these movies but Thomas loves making them so his dad bankrolls them every time because the company is his passion project.
Don't leave out Kubo and the Two Strings. That movies artistry is groundbreaking and it's so epic. Its in my Top 5 of All Time bc my theatre experience was insane
And was founded by Henry Selik, if I'm not mistaken, who directed the Nightmare before Xmas!
fave nepo baby
Didn't know that. I'm so glad his dad's rich. Allowing him the freedom to make these masterpieces
Sad they don’t make a profit. They’re so good!
as a person who has watched coraline over 20 times this was absolutely hilarious. i usually HATE when people commentate on movies i love but this was funny asf 😂
I always think of Inside Out as an alternate version of this movie bcs it starts with the same premises, a little girl and her parents moving into a new less than ideal house far away and having a hard time with a prevalent struggle that comes with it moving. Getting settled in a new place, your parents being stressed and then wanting to escape when both could have been avoided with some patience
Both girls are originally from the Midwest (Coraline from Michigan, Riley from Minnesota)
Both move into an old Victorian-style house that they're less than impressed with
Both have some tension within their family that delays unpacking from the move
And both movies feature glowing orbs in some significance.
For anyone that may not have known or ever noticed, but Wybie says his grandmother doesn’t like him going over to the pink palace, he mentions his grandmother is the one that found the coraline doll and her sister went missing when they were children.
One of the children that Coraline saved their eyes to release their soul, was the long lost sister of Wybies grandmother. That’s why she didn’t like the pink palace, knew about the dolls and they showed her briefly at the end of the movie and Coraline says “I have so much to tell you.” because the grandmother knows what goes on in that house because of her sister and what happened with the other mother.
but does that mean the coraline doll was a good thing? I thought it was used by the other mother to spy on her in the real world
@@hinnakoto Yes, the doll is very much a spy for the other mother. Not a good thing lol. Wybie's grandmother recognized the style of doll since her sister was also a victim of the other mother and instructs Wybie not to go to the pink palace for that reason.
@@linalv8683 oh my bad, i thought the OP was saying his grandmother was the one who sent her the doll since she found it and i was like why would she help the other mother 😅 now i think the other mother sent the doll but pretended it was from wybie? maybe i should just rewatch the movie hahaha
@@hinnakoto wybie did send her the doll but he didn’t know it was dangerous, he just thought it was interesting that it looked like her. When his grandma found out that he gave it to her, she asked him to get it back because she knew how dangerous it was. But by that time it was too late, the other mother had all the information on Coraline she needed.
@@the-berries-and-cream-dude aha that explains it, thank you for filling in the blanks for me! 🙇🏻♀️

And he’s been 21 for years so cool man
And he’s been 21 for years so cool man
@@paddyrobbo1683 I mean he’s definitely not over 21 maturity wise and by that I mean both mentally and physically
I really like the way coraline is structured in the sense that the beginning and middle and end all have very different vibes like they’re different films almost and it helps take us on the journey with Caroline from how she felt at the start(bored but curios)to the middle (fun) then to the end(nightmare fuel ominous ending) absolute chefs kiss to the author cos the structure of it alone helps to understand coraline and that’s why despite it being scary kids dig it like I always temper watching the ending for the first time and the way it happens so suddenly helps you feel that cold snapped back to reality feeling that coraline does in that moment (joined by the pathetic phallacy of winter) just so good 10/10
The ending is actually ominous, it shows that there are still ways in and out of her world.
The hardest scene they had to film for this movie was the mice circus performance. If you know anything about stop motion, you know it's ridiculously hard to pull off, especially like this.
i think that sequence alone took 2 months to film holy fuck
I always wondered how they did jumping scenes with stop motion
The jumping mice were always the scariest part of the movie for me. Button eyes? Whatever. Spider-demon other mother? Please. But hundreds of tiny mice running around with that creepy af circus music playing in the background? Yeah no thank you.
@@artinstructor4020 usually the puppet is attached to a rig that gets edited out in post
The main message of the book/movie is that bravery isn't being fearless -- it's being very afraid and doing it anyway -- which is such a good take
Ooo, I never thought of it that way!
In the book, coraline recalls a time where her dad got attacked by wasps where she and him were playing. After they got away, coraline realized she left a toy behind and her dad went back to grab it. The book highlighted that her dad was fearless protecting coraline but that wasnt him being brave. Being brave was going back and being completely terrified that he might be attacked by wasps again (aka confronting your fears)
Isn’t the main message “be careful what you wish for” its literally on the poster
@@Butterfly-ll7mm Stories can have multiple messages and, some, make better poster tags than others.
Also the quote at the beginning of the book, about fairy tales not being about teaching kids about monsters, but teaching them that monsters can be killed.
The fact that this movie traumatized me as a child and now watching people react to it because that's a little easier to deal with my trauma, but then having Dylan make fun of their appearance xD
12:25 "She deserves some negative consequence for smashing bugs with her bare hands."
Person at my school who is going to grow up to be a serial killer: *Smashes yellow jackets with bare hands*
Me: "I have never agreed more with a statement about a person."
I'm glad that this isn't considered normal cause when I didn't smash em wth my bare hands I was laughed at for running away, now all I can hope is one day the person gets chased by a hive out of karma. Maybe thats too extreme...meh.
Dylan, i think the message behind coraline is to not take anything for granted. Her parents in the beginning didn't hate her but they had just moved in and were really busy and also a little short on money so they didn't have much time for her at the time. Later on the mother realises she'd been a bit harsh with her and gets her the gloves she wanted. So in reality they did love her but were in a stressful state, love the Caroline segmentss
That was the other mothers downfall. The other children must have been actually neglected and lives bad lives if they were desperate enough to sew the buttons into their eyes. The Other Mother thought Coraline was being neglected. But she's clearly a kid who is used to getting attention and is loved. So no matter how magical and cool the other world is she's not actually willing to trade. Her mom had been in some sort of accident and they just moved and needed a few days of concentrating just on the book I'm order to have money and provide for her and them. And it's just in those few days.
I think that the message is to be careful with adults that are giving you gifts though you don't know them, cause they can have other motives.
I also think that the message (though maybe clearer in the boon where the real parents treat her better) is that sometimes parents have their own thing to do but it doesn't mean they don't love you.
@@silverkyre exactly, it was wrong place wrong time kinda thing i think for coraline bc the house wasn't allowed to be sold for families bc of what happened with the disappearance of the other children, wybie mentions it in fact
@@nanalove3819 I agree
yea i think it was also implied they had a car accident as well which is why the real mother had a neck brace for most of the movie. so they were super stressed not just from the cost of moving but also the cost of medical bills and car accident related costs. thats why they were so focused on their work and were very stressed about finishing it.
I appreciate Dylan’s analysis about film shots, structure, characters, dialogue, etc. Would like for him to do it more often in his videos.
Agreed !
i think the sort of dull relationship with her parents really helps the message, actually. instead of it being a home alone situation where she realizes it's not so bad in her reality, (this theme is there but i don't think it's the main one) the focus is on coraline's developing independence and courage. she was scared, her parents neglected her, but she still found the resolve to not only save herself but her parents and the ghost children. it reminds me a lot of spirited away- both mcs are young girls who must go through a bizarre and unpredictable journey which matures them and helps them define themselves apart from the environment provided by their parents. it's an imperfect message because children shouldn't HAVE to go through those things, but they do. in the same way, i admire when parents are portrayed through media as imperfect and flawed with kids who then have to take on responsibility for the wellbeing of the family. it presents heroes to people who can relate to that and can be really empowering. in general i just love this movie (book is better and creepier too) so i could talk about it for ages. it's a really interesting piece of media once you start dissecting it
you should absolutely get into the coralline theories! They’re very unsettling but super interesting, lol. The directors also said, nothing in this movie is coincidental, which leads to people analyzing a bunch of little details
“this is what happens when you don’t love your children enough, they become freaks” - possibly the most relatable words from dylan’s mouth
I’m surprised Dylan didn’t comment more on how incredible the stop motion animation was in this film, some scenes blow my mind. This film took 4 years to make, but nonetheless the commentary was still top tier!
I think he was enjoying watching it! I thought that too at first until I realized how enthralled he was at just the movie itself, especially since it’s his first time watching:)
Something I love about Coralines welcome dinner scene is the writing on her cake, if you take note of the fact that the ‘o’ in ‘home’ has a double loop i think it was in it, which means something along the lines of a lie, but it is not in the ‘welcome’ so it implys she is welcome there but she isn’t home
I read this book back when I was in 3rd grade and it creeped me out so much, especially the little illustrations on some of the pages. When I heard they were making it an animated movie I knew for sure they were about to permanently scar a whole new generation
Watching this movie again, I realized something. The two old ladies that read her tea leaves were technically both right. Coraline was in terrible danger and also encountered a tall beast.
that fact that idk if you’re talking about the dad or dylan 😂
@@lailagraham1437 pretty sure the tall beast is the Other Mother
@@lailagraham1437 😭
If you look at the tea cup the giraffe looks like the other mother's hand (the legs are the fingers)
Dylan is more terrified of the dad's neck than he was reacting to paranormal activity
You know it’s a good movie when Dylan’s commentary and jokes barely diss the actual movie because it’s isn’t a flawed film. Him actually getting spooked is so funny to me.
18:29 OMG SO THATS WHERE THE TIKTOK AUDIO COMES FROM
Words cannot describe how happy I am that he reacted to Coraline, it's one of my favorite comfort movies. Theres so much little detail in the film that you wont catch unless you watch it a second time. Like when the Other Mother says that they like mud, and lightning strikes outside of the window, the lighting is in the shape of her needle claw hand. And the cake that says "welcome home" in calligraphy when there is two loops in the circle it normally indicates a lie, in the word "welcome" there is one loop, but in the word "home" there is two. Indicating that she is welcome, but she isnt home. Theres just so much to this movie, and I can talk about it all day
this is your COMFORT movie??!? I'm terrified /lh
@@feli-_-city4324 this has been my comfort movie since it was released😭 idk why it doesn’t register as ‘creepy’ to me for some reason lmao
@@dahjiat.8562 this movie terrified me and still does😂❤🤨
no sammee, i can literally quote the entire movie
My favorite little Easter egg is when Coraline goes to sleep in the other mothers house, when the other mother puts her to bed and she’s sitting on the chair, her shadow is that weird tall character (I forgot it’s name lmao) and both the other parents fade into the doll and the dad fades into the turtle (idk if anything I just said makes sense I’m bad at explaining things)
This has been my favorite movie since I was four years old, believe it or not. I watched it all the time, despite it scaring my mom.
The movie that terrified me as a child was James and the Giant Peach
12:09
"WATCH OUT FOR THE DAD WITH THE LONG NECK"
😂😂😂
Dylan referring to his fans as she when he was doing his sponsor is just how aware he is about the majority of his fanbase being femalebased
And yes I do realize that he wasnt referring to all of his fans so if anyone's going to reply "well he never said he was referring to all his fans" shut up. Its a joke.
@@meli_taylorsversion you getting mad at a ghost? 💀
YUP😂 A majority of commentary channels are tbh
Danny Gonzalez, Jarvis Johnson, Drew Gooden, etc etc
Idk why, they just are😂
UA-camrs have these stats, they also know the age range of their viewers
@@kevdes nah its just that whenever I comment something that resembles this people go for my throat for assuming their gender so i might as well put a heads-up.
Fun Fact: in an interview the author Neil Gaiman said that when he was writing this book the character’s name was “Caroline” but he accidentally typed “Coraline” and as he was looking at the name he knew that was someone’s name and had to know what happened to her.
I love how Dylan uses Disney moral logic on this movie and has no idea about the acid trip he’s gonna enter
Ngl I laughed every single time dylan said “bum bum bum” I loved this commentary so much! Dylans videos always put me in such a good mood! Thank you dylan❤️❤️
Neat little thing that goes unnoticed:
Real mom says she locked the door because she saw some rat crap and wanted Coraline to feel safe.
Next time she goes into the other world, she discovers the mice are actually rats.
Ll
Ll
What does that mean?
@@frenchgirl5878 I’m not sure maybe like an indication that it’s not what coraline thinks? Bc the mice are seen as mice until the cat like “kills it” and then it’s a rat
i have never laughed harder at a dylan commentary than at this one. when he went radio silent during the older ladies performance, i couldn't BREATHE
8:14 I gotta be honest I one hundred bercent was like, "that ASS" and thought Dylan was also on board bc of the zoom in
I love how he guessed the alternate dimension part. I literally said yess out loud. I’m always so impressed when he jokes about something absurd and it turns out to be true 8:05
“ … He was too beaten down by life and he just had no will to take it out on anyone else.”
Well, he is a writer isn’t he?
Lmao based
The animators perfectly captured that look, I’m sure they know it 😂
One of the children that Coraline saved their eyes to release their soul, was the long lost sister of Wybies grandmother. That’s why she didn’t like the pink palace, knew about the dolls and they showed her briefly at the end of the movie and Coraline says “I have so much to tell you.” because the grandmother knows what goes on in that house because of her sister and what happened with the other mother.
Copy+paste
i'm actually fascinated by the shirt-that-looks-like-you're-wearing-a-backpack and i want one.
15:00 “I might offend some people” proceeds to offend no one ever
I love how he said the ending was happy and didn’t realized that the cat could only disappear or do magical things in the other world
The cat can do weird things in both worlds, that's how he crosses in the first place ("I've been coming here for a while"), disappearing behind the sign is just him either going back into the other world, or to some other hidden part of the real world. He also never speaks in the real world.
@@tau-5794 its funny how many people are just bad at paying attention are calling dylan out for not paying attention.
Doesn't mean it wasn't a good ending
Man, imagine being a screenwriter and trying to convince a studio exec that this movie where "a demon lady intends to lure a girl into her world, and eventually sew buttons into her eyes and then eat her body leaving behind nothing but a soul trapped in the universe" as a *kids* movie.
Neil gamen got it published as a kids book because the terrified kids they tested it on wanted to hear how it ends. The publishers initially thought it was too scary.
@@isapheonix if I remember correctly, his daughter lied about not being scared when reading the book which lead to him publishing it.
@@cherrybombrose3532 ya its glorious and the studio followed suit.
And thank god those studio executives agreed because then we wouldn’t have this masterpiece.
LMFAO 18:51 honestly dylan, same.
I am DYING at 17:39 wheres Dylan looks around just to make sure he’s just watching a movie and he’s not hallucinating😭😭
Coraline is one of those movies you watch twice, once for the suprise, the second time so you can watch and understand every thing that’s happening
@@rivanaidu8827 okay?
I used to love Coraline when I was a kid. But my mum wouldn't watch it with me cause she said it was too freaky. Looking back, she wasn't wrong...
I remember when I got the film for my birthday when I was a kid and I couldn’t bring myself to open it because the cover of the film scared me to much 😂
Have you ever read the book? Oh my goodness it's so freaking creepy!
@@gracelawrence7122 Have you ever read the book? Oh my goodness it's so freaking creepy!
@Morraghan Johnson Nah, but these comments are making me want to haha. Probably won't sleep for weeks but
My parents never cared about this when I was little actually they kind of made me watch horror and bloody stuff back then even though they knew it scared me they said I couldn’t react to stuff like that in life and that one day I’d like it, when I watched Coraline I asked my mother to watch Coraline with me when I got scared but she was in the middle of something so I had to watch it on my own, I liked it but I did’t sleep all night after watching it, and then I watched stuff like Corpse Bride, ParaNorman, Monster House and then I started watching actual horror movies and now my tolerance to that stuff is very high and I watch it often and now my parents don’t like it anymore, they made me watch horror when they knew I was terrified by it and now that I enjoy it they judge me
Some fun facts! The movie is pretty true to the book! Although some things are even creepier in the book. For instance, the bug, candy, and vegetation theme isn't really in the book.
SPOILERS: iirc the Other Father just turns into some giant mass and attacks her, even though he really doesn't want to. And the other Miss Spink and Miss Forcible are like...simply melded together inside some weird cocoon, as opposed to just being like...taffy in a candy wrapper. (Not that I like either version better than the other.) /END SPOILERS
Wybie actually isn't in the book! The book really follows Coraline's POV, and they knew, for the movie, there was going to be trouble when it came to seeing how Coraline is feeling about things. She's a lonely kid, so she mostly internalizes things, which is fine in book format, because we can just read about how she's thinking and feeling. In a movie, though, we'd have to see and hear this. So they gave Coraline someone she could sort of bounce her thoughts off of.
The voice of the cat is interesting. In the book, I do believe that it's described as a male voice, and while it is unlike Coraline's actual voice, it is apparently the voice that she thinks in.
1:24 i thought Dylan was trying to remember “the Nightmare on Elm’s street” 😭
Coralline is my favourite movies so here are some cool little details about the movie I love:
In the beginning, wybie says that the well is « so deep, if you feel in in the middle of the day and looked up, you’d see a sky full of stars » this is because the well is another portal to the other world like the door is and like the other entry points the cat uses. It’s always nighttime in the other world, and in the shots where you can see down the well it looks exactly like the tunnel. This is also why at the end you see the cat go into the other world since coraline got rid of the key and the hand in the well, accidentally sending them right back to her.
The song the dad sings is a warning to Coraline, because all the characters the mother creates actually truly care about her the way their supposed to like the dad and wybie
On the cake it says “welcome home” with a double loop on the o in home. Double loops in a lowercase letter o symbolise that the writer is lying. There’s no double loop in welcome because she truly is welcome but she isn’t truly home.
Wybie’s grandmother knew about the other world and the other mother through her sister, and that is why she forbade wybie to go to the pink palace. Additionally, that is why she never rents the house to families with kids as wybie says in the beginning, but since wybie got to the age at which the other mother starts taking children, she rented the course to coraline’s family to protect him.
Every time coraline comes back you can see the mother getting progressively more thin and spidery, her neck gets longer and even her clothes get darker and more spikey.
There is a theory that the other mother was the original owner of the house, because in the real world the garden in the backyard is shaped like her face, just like it was shaped like coraline’s in the other world.
There is also a theory that the painting of the sad blue boy in the real world is a painting of the other mother’s son, because in the other world, the painting is happy and even after the power starts weakening and things go back to their original creepy forms, the painting never changes and stays happy.
There are more but I’ll leave it here haha
these are all so cool, thanks !
No wait, tell me more! JK lol, but these are so cool!
My favorite detail is how the other mother’s hands are made of sewing needles
Thanks for the facts 👍
pls more
1:45 "Nightmare on 24th Street" manages to combine the film titles of "Miracle on 34th Street", "Nightmare on Elm Street" AND the one that I'm assuming he meant because it's creepy and stop-motion, which is "Nightmare before Christmas" (which Christmas Eve is the 24th).
That's actually pretty impressive.
Nightmare on 12th street is an actual thing, 24th sounds NOTHING like elm
It’s so ironic how much he roasted the dad who then helped coraline at the end but was infatuated with the mom the whole time who ended up being the villain lmfaooo
This is so embarrassing to admit, the fear was so real for me when I watched this at age 7 which meant that this is the first time that I'm watching any part of this movie since then and I'm 21 ... edit: and I'm still on edge watching this video
Exact same watching this movie when I was 7 was traumatising
My mom hated me watching this bc of how scary it was, she thought I would get nightmares. but i absolutely adored this film as a kid, and it never once gave me nightmares
My goth mom played this movie, and 9 for us religiously
I first watched it with my sister and brother-in-law when I was like 9 years old and they called me ridiculous for being scared as heck after it, they even wanted to watch it a second time in 3d after that... like excuse me?... nah, me rather jumpin off a roof than watching that in 3d
Same!!! EVERYTHING gave me nightmares except this movie. It was my favorite!
Wow for me it was the opposite I watched this movie alone at night when I was very little and I was so scared I couldn’t even sleep on my own anymore, I couldn’t even finish the movie lol
I had nightmares when I watched it as a kid, so I was kind of disappointed when I watched it again recently and didn't find it scary 😂 Didn't find the sweet feelings from childhood you know
Fun fact Many publishers believed the story to be too scary for children, and since Neil's (the author of the book) daughter was too young to read it he had one of his coworker’s daughter’s read it. She approved the book and it was published. Come to find out, years later Gaiman talked to his co-workers daughter about the book. She actually thought the book was terrifying, but lied to her mom about it since she needed to know what would happen next. Imagine if she didn't lie about it? This masterpiece would have been still hidden in only a book not an adaptation as well 😭😭😭
Moral of that story, lying is good Hahahah
How old was she? I mean I’m not easy scared so at 13 I watched almost the entire horror section on Netflix before bed during summer break. So like at 13 I could watch this but at 8 I would probably be a bit scared, do you know how small children this movie was for?
@@ixagonczi I'm not sure tbh. I do know that Coraline herself is 9 years old. So I'm guessing this movie is targeted at 9 years old children and above but now that you mention it, it is is quite a scary movie for a 9 year old to take in 😭
Working in the youth section of the library, I think this is so true of a lot of children. Give them a good story and they will do anything to finish it, even if it's scary. Plus, a lot of kiddos do like scary books.
@@malaksayed2457 Yeah most 9 year olds would probably be sacred, it feels like it more for 12-15 year olds, especially the book.
